·I guess we could turn the question around and ask: "what's wrong with posting a "PM sent" on a sales thread?"

No need to guess - you could definitely do that. 🤦

·Too many watches get sold to members and most times we never have a record of who purchased it.

·At least on Reddit, many follow this practice, and the seller usually publicly responds with “replied”.
I always assumed this served 2 functions:
1- to create some public trail of the transaction
2- to settle any grievances of potential buyers who felt their offer was ignored
To be honest, at the end of the day I don’t think either of those two points have much value in a private sale, but I still follow the etiquette anyway.
EDIT: i think it’s also a way for the subreddit mods to catch known scammers (assuming sellers only respond to buyers that reply on the sales thread publicly).
